Speyside Way Traveller Reviews

A wonderful week walking through great scenery, interesting places. Lots of whisky distilleries, great accommodation and friendly people. Very memorable

This was our third Mickledore holiday and, as always, faultless from the booking process to the transfer of the final bag

We had a very enjoyable family holiday walking the Speyside Way in Scotland. The scenery was magnificent and the accommodation was very comfortable.

We have organised our annual walking holiday through Mickledore Travel for several years and they have always been extremely reliable and given excellent service.

A walk from Buckie along the Speyside Way and ending in Aviemore.Accomodation in a mixture of hotels and B and B all of them good

Mickledore did all the organising of the accomodation and provided great maps booklets and information

We followed the Speyside Way from Buckie to Aviemore with two side spurs. One went from Craigellachie to Dufftown and back and the other followed the Tomintoul Spur from Tomintoul to Ballindalloch.

Mickledore always puts the needs of the their clients first. In my experience, they always reply to email communications within one day. Their selected accommodations are aways first rate and luggage transfers and packed lunches always go off without a hitch.

Once again, Mickledore Walking Holidays made this a memorable holiday. I walked the Speyside Way, including the Dufftown and Tomintoul Spurs, during the early part of September 2019. Mickledore provided me with all the information to get to my starting point which was Buckie. The B&Bs and eating establishments along the way were very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this walk for those interested in visiting numerous whiskey distillers as well as sampling some of their products.

Mickledore does not disappoint in providing you with all the tools you need to get to your daily destinations. As well, they are available to support you along your walk. I really liked their online app which allowed me to know where I was going without having to carry paper with me. I have used Mickledore three times and would highly recommend them for organizing your holiday.

A six day walking holiday along the Speyside Way, with Mickeldore having arranged for our luggage to be transferred to our next accommodation every day. We were fortunate with the September weather. Every day the views were spectacular. The people we met along the way and at the accommodation were friendly and helpful. We returned home refreshed and invigorated.

This is the second time we have used Mickeldore for a walking holiday and have had good experiences on both occasions. From the initial booking to the completion of our holiday Mickeldore made the process straightforward. When researching the holiday initially we found the Mickeldore website detailed, informative and easy to negotiate. Mickeldore were always easy to contact with any queries we raised, which were responded to efficiently and politely. We asked for some amendments to the standard package and these were effected without hassle. The maps, guides and other documentation provided by Mickeldore enabled us to negotiate the trail with ease and enjoyment. The various places of accommodation along the trail were of a good standard.

Very pleasant walk with sufficient variation in trail and landscape, although you are in fact continuously folllowing the same river. Nice side trips can be made as suggested and ther is an abundant presence of whisky distilleries.

Accommodation and luggage transport well arranged; high level quality standard for both functionality and experience atmosphere. Clear and timely communication and helpful and complete information package.

We hiked the Speyside Way for 7 days and more than 115 miles. It was awesome! Not only did we had luck with the weather, we met only nice and helping people. The landscape was very picturesque and we visited a lot of whisky distilleries.

Mickledore Travel is uncomplicated and very reliable. Very commendable.

Six of us walked the Speyside Way from Buckie to Aviemore, about 90 miles, over six days. We used Mickledore to arrange accommodation and transport of luggage from hotel to hotel. They were brilliant, as usual. The walk was varied, sometimes on disused railway track, sometime through woods and over hills. One day we took the Tomintoul Spur, a taxi to the high town and a walk back mostly downhill and across wilder country than the actual Speyside Way. Brilliant views along the way, points of interest and a warm welcome everywhere

We have used Mickledore for several years. They are a terrific outfit, based in Keswick. Communication via phone or email is apleasure and all questions are quickly answered. We would recommend them to anybody wanting a walking holiday

We booked to walk the Speyside Way with Mickledore Travel. They organised the accommodation, luggage transfer and packed lunches, and provided restaurant recommendations en route. What an excellent service they provide! A detailed information pack arrived in plenty time for the trip.

We couldn’t fault Mickledore Travel. Excellent service.
